Chicken Pot Pie
Winter is starting to show it’s ugly head here in Toronto. Couldn’t help but think of comfort food so here is my take on Chicken pot pie.
There really isn’t anything special about this other then this is a very practical dish to make while living on a boat. I might as well make a couple of these and freeze them for later.
The Ramekin I use is 3.5″ Wide and 2.5″ Deep.

Master Brad...ya, that flying dog held me captive forever, in the end the eggs never hatched. Grrrr
I had totally forgotten about this, my Portuguese dogs are still in therapy.
Try is with a couple of sprigs of tarragon while you're making the sauce, not too much just enough to…
Looks good
Good catch...I forgot to add the good stuff. Butter. :)
